Yes. On Senator Kenneally's question, it is my understanding that authorised persons will operate within their functional areas and, if necessary, engage in hot pursuit into other functional areas. I will consult on the issue and clarify the position on Report Stage. I am not certain what would be the position with regard to an authorised officer from west Mayo who happens to be in Dunmore East. We will take the practicalities into consideration.
